Thanks. I need to learn how to write much shorter Perl code... The "poetry" I've seen on perlmonks and other examples of code, such as the DeCSS stuff, shows me that I'm being way inefficient with my Perl. Awesome! Thanks.

Schwartz Sun, 18 Dec 2005 20:21:13 +0000 http://www.3till7.net/?p=1004#comment-1499 Would be much simpler to do something like: perl -e 'for (@ARGV) { ($new = $_) =~ s/\.html$/.php/; rename $_, $new }' *.html In fact, I can nearly type that from the command line. There's a script called "rename" in the core distribution that does this. Would be much simpler to do something like:

perl -e ‘for (@ARGV) { ($new = $_) =~ s/\.html$/.php/; rename $_, $new }’ *.html
